Internet Resources to Assist in Responding to
Biological Threats
by Jay Brakensiek
Industrial Hygienists may be called upon to provide assistance in the area of bioterrorism. Issues of Homeland Security, the security of mail, and general responses to potential biological agents are new areas for most industrial hygienists. There are a number of organizations that have guidance on their websites regarding the biohazards of anthrax, and other agents. I have put together a brief list of some of the most useful sources:
- Federal Bureau of Investigation
- State of California, Governor's Office of Emergency Services
- Center for Disease Control – U. S. Government
- OSHA Response to World Trade Center Disaster
- Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response page
- Office of Homeland Security information
- U.S. Postal Service, Safety and Security of Mail
- California Highway Patrol (Note: they have an anthrax training video)
